Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months when the plant's growth slows down significantly.
Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.
Prune to maintain shape, remove dead or damaged stems, and encourage bushier growth. Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Use clean, sharp pruning shears.
Propagate by stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Select healthy stems, cut them to about 10-15 cm, and remove lower leaves. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix.
Keep moist and warm.
Repot young plants annually, and mature plants every 2-3 years, preferably in spring. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.
Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of potting soil and perlite.
